If you are interested in 19th century fiction, and cannot find a story of a woman who is lowly born, and not rich or famous, then this tale may interest you. So much of 19th century fiction depicts large houses, lovely clothes, plenty to eat, and idleness born of not having to work. Rosie Randall has to work if she is to avoid the workhouse when her husband dies and she is left with a baby to bring up. She works as a seamstress, sewing garments, and household drapery for those of the middle classes who do not have as many servants as the wealthy. This tale is of her life, from 1817, when she is born to her death 100years later, during the 1st world war An ordinary woman, a woman of no consequence This is 19th century fiction unlike most others. The story is a woman born during the Regency, and tells the tale of her life through from her childhood, to employment as a Dairymaid age ten, and her disastrous marriage. When her husband dies, she is left with a baby to support and no home, until her stepmother offers her a job as a seamstress, and a home. She does find love, but he is killed at Crimea. It appears she is to have a very lonely old age as members of her family die. Will she die without finding happiness?
A captivating historical novel from the national bestselling author, as Ariana Franklin, of Mistress of the Art of Death. Makepeace Burke serves Patriots at her late father's tavern on the Boston waterfront in 1765 and hates the redcoats with a vengeance. But even she can't watch an angry mob drown an Englishman. She rescues him and nurses him back to health-and falls in love. In Patriot Boston, hers is an unforgivable sin-made worse by the fact that her Englishman turns out be the aristocratic Sir Philip Dapifer. Philip must smuggle Makepeace aboard a ship bound for London and save her life at the expense of the world she knows. Rich in period detail, bringing the years of colonial rebellion to vivid life, A Catch of Consequence is a stylish novel of Boston and England, and of a woman who defies convention in both worlds.
From the moment he set foot on it, Karl Rove has rocked America’s political stage. He ran the national College Republicans at twenty-two, and turned a Texas dominated by Democrats into a bastion for Republicans. He launched George W. Bush to national renown by unseating a popular Democratic governor, and then orchestrated a GOP White House win at a time when voters had little reason to throw out the incumbent party. For engineering victory after unlikely victory, Rove became known as “the Architect.” Because of his success, Rove has been attacked his entire career, accused of everything from campaign chicanery to ideological divisiveness. In this frank memoir, Rove responds to critics, passionately articulates his political philosophy, and defends the choices he made on the campaign trail and in the White House. He addresses controversies head-on— from his role in the contest between Bush and Senator John McCain in South Carolina to the charges that Bush misled the nation on Iraq. In the course of putting the record straight, Rove takes on Democratic leaders who acted cynically or deviously behind closed doors, and even Republicans who lacked backbone at crucial moments. Courage and Consequence is also the first intimate account from the highest level at the White House of one of the most headline-making presidencies of the modern age. Rove takes readers behind the scenes of the bitterly contested 2000 presidential contest, of tense moments aboard Air Force One on 9/11, of the decision to go to war in Afghanistan and Iraq, of the hard-won 2004 reelection fight, and even of his painful three years fending off an indictment by Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. In the process, he spells out what it takes to win elections and how to govern successfully once a candidate has won. Rove is candid about his mistakes in the West Wing and in his campaigns, and talks frankly about the heartbreak of his early family years. But Courage and Consequence is ultimately about the joy of a life committed to the conservative cause, a life spent in political combat and service to country, no matter the costs.
